JDM1983 28 Posted May 6, 2020 Using this downtime to do my first years accounts, I never imagined what a confusing job it would be. I thought I’d kept decent records in excel, but they just aren’t fit for this purpose. Just wondering if anyone can recommend any accounting software, needs to be something fairly cheap, like an app, as I don’t have pockets for a proper dealer system at the moment. Any recommendations would be appreciated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
